Other contractors did not have the availability for us to book camp at the time frame requested. Camp Reed has a confidence course/Ropes course that we require for our camp event. Research was conducted by Mary Thomas, via phone and email, starting in January 2022. Camp Reed has always worked with us on a cost that meets our budget constraints. Camp Reed is the only WA state camp in this area that is American Camping Association (ACA) accredited which is required by NGB. there are some camps in Idaho that are ACA accredited but market research found they were unavailable during our timeframe.
